Electric Vehicles (EV) & Charging Infrastructure

Charging Deserts: The Untold Story

Not all EV users enjoy seamless charging. Rural areas face unique challenges known as “charging deserts.” Lack of infrastructure forces owners into creative solutions, from using household outlets to expanding their trips dramatically just to find a station.

But here’s a shocker: local authorities are unaware of their own potential in hosting charging stations, fueling this discrepancy. Small towns, from underestimating demand, have often ignored the need for investment. What if you discovered your town plays a key role in this issue?

Collaboration between governments and private sectors sometimes results in abandoned projects, leaving eager communities without solutions. Ignored collaboration efforts hinder progress that many hope for. But there’s still a surprising potential path forward…

Some have turned to grassroots movements, lobbying for grant funding and utilizing social platforms for change. They hope to shift the narrative, showing that local action can pave the way for broader acceptance and amenities. Are these just isolated efforts, or part of a bigger shift?
